Here's some information about Da Nang during the period of 1968-69:Strategic Location: Da Nang is situated along the coast of the South China Sea, making it a strategically important location for both the U.S. and South Vietnamese forces. Its proximity to the border with North Vietnam and its large deep-water harbor made it an ideal base for military operations.Military Base: Da Nang served as a major U.S. military base and logistical hub. The United States Marines Corps (USMC) established a large base called Camp Tien Sha, which housed various Marine units, including the 1st Marine Division. The U.S. Army also had a significant presence in the area, with the 101st Airborne Division and other units stationed there.Air Base: Da Nang Air Base, officially known as Da Nang Airfield or Da Nang Airbase, was one of the busiest air bases during the war. It served as a key aerial hub for both U.S. Air Force and U.S. Marine Corps aircraft. Da Nang Air Base facilitated air support, resupply missions, medical evacuations, and other air operations.Tet Offensive: Da Nang was a major target during the Tet Offensive of 1968. The North Vietnamese and Viet Cong forces launched attacks on multiple locations in and around Da Nang, including the air base, military installations, and the city itself. U.S. and South Vietnamese forces successfully repelled the attacks, but the Tet Offensive marked a significant turning point in the war.Civilian Population: Da Nang was not only a military center but also a major city with a substantial civilian population. The presence of U.S. troops and military operations had an impact on the local population, and efforts were made to improve civil-military relations and provide humanitarian assistance.Infrastructure and Development: Da Nang saw significant development during the war. The U.S. invested in infrastructure projects, including the expansion and improvement of roads, bridges, and facilities. The city experienced urban growth and an increase in economic activities related to the war effort. Worldwide combined shipment is welcome to save you money.
